Rent & eviction protection

Is 310 Parnassus Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1915
2 or more units

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1915
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

310 Parnassus Avenue is a three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Seventh Avenue Apartments L. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a complete reroofing project completed in late 2024 at a cost of $21,500. Notable structural improvements include a completed soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) performed in 2017-2018 with an engineering cost of $80,000, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed over time, including multiple fire safety concerns such as blocked exits (most recently in January 2024) and alarm system maintenance issues (open violation as of December 2021). The property has a history of plumbing problems, with notable incidents including water leakage issues between units 103 and 10 in late 2009, and kitchen cabinet deterioration, ceiling cracks, and mold concerns reported in 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure and safety requirements, though some issues have been recurring, particularly related to fire safety systems and plumbing. While recent complaints have decreased in severity, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance challenges, including a rodent/insect infestation report in early 2024. Several routine inspections have been conducted over the years, with most issues being resolved promptly, including previous violations from 2003 related to plumbing, fire escapes, and sanitation. The property has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, including the completion of its soft-story retrofit, though some violations remain open while awaiting resolution. Recent external issues reported through 311 calls have primarily concerned parking enforcement and street maintenance rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 310 Parnassus Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
5thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 500 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
